Page 160Iron additions increase strength and hardness ; nickel increases strength ; silicon
improves machinability. Thus, the aluminum bronzes can be modified for special
properties. The single phase alloys have good cold-forming characteristics; the ...

Page 162The silicon bronzes possess a chemical resistance equivalent to copper and
superior to the aluminum bronzes. The silicon bronzes are generally fully
resistant to industrial, marine, and rural atmospheres. They also possess
excellent ...
